Do I need all of these tests?

No. We only recommend the tests that are clinically necessary based on your history, symptoms, and goals. Many patients need only one or two key panels to clarify their underlying imbalances.

Do you collaborate with primary care providers or specialists?

Yes. We can share your testing results and integrative treatment plan with your medical team upon request to support coordinated care.

DO YOU OFFER FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE OR ADVANCED LAB TESTING?

Yes. At Denver Sports & Holistic Medicine, we offer a comprehensive Functional & Root-Cause Medicine approach supported by advanced diagnostic testing. For patients seeking deeper answers, this pathway identifies the underlying biological, hormonal, metabolic, digestive, and environmental factors contributing to chronic symptoms—long before disease shows up on standard labs.

Our goal is simple: understand why your symptoms are happening and create a personalized plan that restores healthy physiology.

Functional medicine services are available to all non-orthopedic patients and begin with a 90-minute telemedicine consultation so we can fully evaluate your case and determine which testing is most clinically appropriate.

What types of advanced testing do you offer?

We partner with leading functional laboratories to provide in-depth analysis of:

Hormones & Stress Response

• DUTCH complete hormone mapping
• Cortisol and circadian rhythm assessment
• Estrogen, progesterone, androgen, and metabolite pathways
• Melatonin and sleep hormones

Gut Health & Microbiome

• Comprehensive stool analysis
• Digestive enzyme function
• Dysbiosis, pathogens, yeast, and inflammatory markers
• SIBO and methane testing

Detoxification & Environmental Exposures

• Mycotoxin (mold) testing
• Heavy metals
• Environmental toxins and chemical burdens
• Oxidative stress markers

Nutritional & Metabolic Health

• Organic acids testing
• Complete micronutrient evaluation
• Mitochondrial function
• Metabolic dysfunction markers

Immune & Inflammatory Markers

• Autoimmune tendencies
• Chronic viral patterns
• Inflammation, cytokines, and immune regulation
• Mast cell activation patterns

These tests go far beyond standard bloodwork and help us identify patterns driving fatigue, anxiety, pain, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, infertility, inflammation, autoimmune tendencies, mold illness, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic stress physiology.

What happens after testing?

Once results are received, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:

• Nutrition and metabolic correction
• Herbal medicine and targeted nutraceuticals
• Acupuncture for nervous system and hormonal regulation
• Detoxification and drainage support
• Mitochondrial repair strategies
• Stress and sleep optimization
• Movement and exercise recommendations
• Environmental modification strategies

Functional medicine visits are structured, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique physiology—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Do I need to run all of these tests?
No. After your consultation, we recommend only the panels that are clinically necessary for your case.

Can these tests help if my regular labs are “normal” but I still feel unwell?
Yes. Many patients with persistent symptoms have imbalances that standard labs do not measure—functional labs help uncover the “why.”

Do you treat mold illness, chronic fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, or autoimmune tendencies?
Yes. We specialize in complex, multisystem conditions and follow evidence-based protocols for detoxification, mitochondrial support, and immune balance.

Do you collaborate with my primary care provider or specialist?
Yes. We can share your testing results and treatment plan with your medical team when requested.
